Not sure (as per usual), but seems alright for a Lauxaniid. The eyes were almost flourescent. Bosham, West Sussex. Clustered on unopened flowers, between saltmarsh and a wheatfield. Another quite small one, won't attempt to guess size from memory, though. 8 August 2011.

This one looks more like Tephritidae, maybe a Campiglossa sp. |

Thanks, updating title. Even if I'm not learning to recognise the flies, at least I'm learning to recognise that I'm probably wrong! Will. |
